Karl,

I used a standard bench grinder to do mine. Works fine for what you need.

You will get one pretty cheaply from most hardware outlets and it'll come in handy for all sorts of jobs.

I had mine turned down. It cost me more than the damn socket! Mind you, the socket was free.

i didnt say i would charge for it, very handy to have a machine in the garage

Karl try asking Dallas, he's finished the new garage and has the Lathe working again, failing that I can get it done in the workshop at work.

Thanks Stuart for the kind offer, have U2U you

Wow thanks for the help guys, who do I call first?? I think I get in touch with Dallas, and see if I can get use of his lathe, he`s only a few miles away, failing that Kev and Stuart might contact one of you.
